BRADFORD (OLD BAKER) CEMETERY

Located on West Main Street in Bradford, Tennessee. This is the largest cemetery within a few miles' radius of Bradford.

From City Hall, go west down Main Street. It will meet the old Hwy 45. From there, turn right onto old Hwy 45. Shortly thereafter turn left down West Main St. The cemetery is about a mile down this road on the right. It is very visible from the road and has a large sign near the entrance.

This cemetery is divided into two sections by the road which goes through it. There is a new section and a much older section. The road goes straight into the cemetery and then splits in two. These two roads meet at the back to form a complete loop around the older section. The oldest section of the cemetery is on a hill.
